The Word of God – March 16, 2015

“It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” – Matthew 4:4

Thoughts for Today… We’ve all had them. Those days (even weeks) when it just seems like there is one crisis after another. When we get one problem solved, another arises. When one hardship is overcome, another begins. It’s like a never-ending cycle sometimes.

We had one of those kinds of days today. First of all, as I was traveling down the road, out of no where came three large dogs running at full speed. Somehow I managed to miss the first one, but not the next one. Smack…right into the side of the car. But here’s the sad part for me…I was driving my daughters car.

Then, the washing machine went out. 250 dollars. Then our daughter who was driving her mother’s SUV gets into a fender bender. From there other things happened in our day, but since someone had just preached the day before about giving God a Towdah kind of praise…a praise on credit, we just decided to go ahead and bless the name of the Lord.

Everyone of you reading this blog…you know what I’m talking about. It’s easy to get discouraged sometimes. But we shouldn’t lose heart, because God is at work in our lives even in the midst of pain and suffering. It’s important for us to remember to partake of a healthy diet of God’s Word each day, in order that we might avoid growing weak spiritually, because… every negative thing we think during our time of hardship, God has something positive to say…
